According to our crew on scene, a firefighter was battling the fire before he came out and dropped to his knees. Crews then picked him up and took him to the medics. The firefighter was overheated and has no serious injuries.

The residents were also inside the house, which was also damaged, during the garage fire, but no one was injured.
